The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Human Genome Project (HGP):** - The Human Genome Project was an international scientific research project aimed at mapping and understanding all the genes of the human species. The primary goal was to sequence the 3 billion base pairs in human DNA. 2. **Evaluating the Statements:** - **Statement 1:** The goal of the HGP was to sequence the 3 billion base pairs in human DNA. - This statement is **correct**. - **Statement 2:** Non-human model organisms like *C. elegans* (a nematode) and *Arabidopsis* (a plant) have been sequenced. - This statement is also **correct**. These organisms were used as models in genetic studies. - **Statement 3:** The sequence of chromosome 1 was completed in May 2006 and was the last of the 23 chromosomes to be sequenced. - This statement is **incorrect**. Chromosome 1 was actually one of the first chromosomes to be sequenced, not the last. - **Statement 4:** 14 million locations with single base differences were identified in humans. - This statement is **incorrect**. The correct number is 1.4 million locations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), not 14 million. 3. **Identifying the Incorrect Statement:** - From the evaluation, we find that Statement 3 and Statement 4 are incorrect. However, since the question asks for a single statement that is incorrect, we focus on the one that is more widely recognized as a misconception, which is Statement 4 regarding the number of SNPs. 4. **Conclusion:** - The statement that is incorrect with respect to the Human Genome Project is that 14 million locations are identified with single base differences. The correct number is 1.4 million. **Final Answer:** - The statement that is incorrect regarding the Human Genome Project is: "14 million locations are identified in humans with single base differences." ---
